Did you ever have to paint around furniture?



In our attempt to cash in on house prices and interest rates being as low as dirt right now, we're trying to get our sardine can ready to sell so we can upgrade it to a shoe. For that reason, blogging is very light lately, as every waking moment at home follows in this regular pattern: compound, sand, paint; compound, sand, paint; compound, sand, paint. The fun part is painting without taking the furniture out of the room, and making sure not to drip paint on the carpet beyond the hastily laid out dropcloth, while holding on to the bed's headboard and not losing balance, stepping into the tray of fresh antique white paint; meanwhile trying to scratch the itch on my nose, as I'm allergic to the dust jackalopes I've kicked up under where the bed used to be...

Say a prayer for me.

I've decided to allow posting without moderation to encourage discussion; hopefully that won't have to change. Therefore, be aware that I may not necessarily agree with any of the comments others have made.

We may discuss adult subjects, but vulgar language and pornographic comments will be deleted. Disagreements between readers are OK, but this site aims to be faithful to the teaching of the Catholic faith and all commenters should keep that in mind.

Like Mark Shea says, conduct yourselves as if you're in my living room.

Oh, and by the way, sales pitches will be shown the trash can.
